Dedicated foam bender

They come with z-bends on one end only. If need be you can build it an add a second z-bend to fit, like 510thousandths said, but it will be harder to adjust. If a small v-bend is added to the control rod, you can make small adjustments very easy without the speed clevis.
Adjustments can be made by spreading or squashing the "V" to make the length right.
